Question

in a basketball game, sally was the top scorer woth 30% of the teams points. If sally scored 15 points, how many total points did the team score

Answer 1

The team scored 50 points

Explanation:

Let the points scored by team be x

We are given that sally was the top scorer woth 30% of the teams points

So, Sally scored points =
`30\% * x`

Sally scored points =
`(30)/(100)x`

We are given that Sally scored 15 points

So,
`(30)/(100)x=15`

`30x=1500`

`x=(1500)/(30)`

x=50

Hence The team scored 50 points
